Post-ABC poll: Overwhelming opposition to Capitol attacks, majority support for preventing Trump from serving again

January 15, 2021

Even because the findings are sharply partisan, over half of Americans — and 1 in 8 Republicans — say Trump needs to be criminally charged for his position within the assaults.

The president additionally is available in for broad criticism over his repeated and baseless assertions that the November election was rigged and tainted by widespread fraud. By a margin of greater than 2 to 1, Americans say the president has acted irresponsibly in his statements and actions because the election.

Nonetheless, the president continues to take pleasure in robust support from Republicans, amongst whom a transparent majority agree along with his false claims about what occurred in November, oppose his elimination from workplace and consider Republican elected officers ought to proceed to comply with his lead sooner or later.

The divide between Americans displays views of Trump which have remained sharply partisan since his 2016 election.

1. Don't they have a proofreader?

“Even because the findings are sharply partisan”

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Horrible sentence structure throughout. Maybe it was written and

then run through an English translator program.

[NYC Liberal]

11. There's worse:

oppose his elimination from workplace and consider Republican elected officers ought to proceed to comply with his lead sooner or later

[lagomorph777]

12. WTF? The whole thing is word salad.

[dalton99a]

14. wpnewspaper is a robotic news aggregator in India

[Eyeball_Kid]

21. I was thinking the same thing.

From the Post/ABC? Come on.

[Denzil_DC]

24. Evidently not. It reads like an auto-translated article from another language.

Or even an original English article translated into another language then re-translated back. It can be a way to get around copyright issues sometimes.

I've had to copy-edit whole books that it emerged had been written in another language and run through Google Translate. It can get within a few hundred yards of the ballpark most of the time, but depending on the source language, things can get seriously garbled.

[nam78_two]

25. And in the very first line at that.nt

[Wicked Blue]

2. WTF is WRONG with Retrumplicans?

Never mind.

[Chainfire]

5. To admit that they have been wrong for so long is unbearable to them.

They can not dismount from the beast without admitting that they have been fools. They would rather save face than to save the country.

[Wicked Blue]

6. Excellent point, Chainfire nt

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Yes

and I'd bet they can write that and pass such that it can't be undone and can't be challenged in a court of law in the US.

Have at it!

[Adelante]

4. What is this source?

It's not connected to the Washington Post at all, is it?

9. I couldn't find the assertion it was connected to the Washington Post in the Original Post. n/t

[Karadeniz]

17. Ha! This answers my question! I was just going to ask DUers why in the world the article sounded

Like instructions for a gadget made in China. It's from India... Ok!

. . .

Overall, almost 9 in 10 Americans oppose the storming of the Capitol, including 8 in 10 who say they strongly oppose the events that shook the country, which resulted in the deaths of one police officer and four rioters and left dozens injured. On this question, 98 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Republicans, 89 percent of independents, 87 percent of White Americans, 94 percent of Black Americans and 93 percent of Hispanic Americans agree in their opposition to the violent insurrection.

The events of the week of the attacks have resulted in people saying they are less confident in the stability of democracy in the United States, with 51 percent saying that is now their view, compared with 13 percent who say it has left them more confident and 32 percent saying the attacks and related events have made no difference in their assessment.

Most Americans say Trump deserves significant responsibility for the attack on the Capitol: 45 percent say he bears “a great deal” of responsibility, another 12 percent say he bears a “good amount” of responsibility. Another 14 percent say Trump deserves “just some” responsibility for the attack, while 28 percent say he bears none at all.

In a related question, 54 percent say he should be charged with the crime of inciting a riot. But the bipartisan agreement that was shown in condemnations of the attack on the Capitol disappears on these questions, with Democrats and Republicans sharply at odds.

Thanks, DonViejo.

Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say Trump bears responsibility for the attacks, and a similar share say he should be charged with a crime, while just 2 in 10 Republicans fix blame on Trump for what happened and more than 8 in 10 say he should not be prosecuted.

15. I wonder where putin Americans stand?

16. 80% of repugs means we should be afraid of 1 in 5 of them.

Gut feeling is they'll be the ones still proudly wearing MAGA hats or shirts.

[Firestorm49]

10. No President has ever been convicted in the Senate.

The polls could show 95% support for criminal prosecution and it still would not alter the minds of the Republicans currently in Congress. Public opinion means nothing to them.

Michael Moore, not a fan of mine, once commented that we can have the illusion of power at the time we’re in the voting booth, but once you step away from it, it’s business as usual.

[progree]

13. "preventing Trump from serving again" serving? SERVING? Only himself, favorite family members

and a few others.

[Grins]

18. Bad writing!

This:

...over half of Americans — and 1 in 8 Republicans — say Trump needs to be criminally charged....”

Should have been written as this:

...over half of Americans — BUT ONLY 1 in 8 Republicans — say Trump needs to be criminally charged....”

Another way: Four times as many Americans say Trump needs to be criminally charged as REPUBLICANS.

[tclambert]

19. A lot of Republicans woke up to find they are Michael Douglas in the movie "Falling Down"

"I'm the bad guy? How'd that happen? I did everything they told me to."

"They" in this case is Donald John Trump.

[BainsBane]

22. Meaning 7 in 8 Republicans

are anti-American terrorist enablers.

[Cha]

23. Well that's Good! TY!
